I highlighted four craft books that I got at the library this past week. I love thumbing through all of the wonderful books!
Thanks to Threads Entwined for sponsoring my giveaway. You can find her shop here.
I love that her website has a Wishlist feature. I was able to create my own wishlist in order to swoon over all of the lovely cross stitch patterns and notions that her shop offers. Curious about my wishlist? You can find my aptly titled "Beautiful Stitching" wishlist here.  Some of the cross stitch and embroidery haul from the Scrap Exchange in Durham, North Carolina.  The Scrap Exchange's mission statement is to "Promote creativity, environmental awareness, and community through reuse.  The artist section of the Scrap Exchange. To the right is the cross stitch section. You can find beads, buttons, fabric samples, quilting... You name it, it's probably here.  The bins at the Scrap Exchange. You could get keyboard keys, trophies, markers, paper, felt and even needlework from the bins!  This amazing coffee and churro shop is right across the street from the Scrap Exchange shopping center. I enjoyed a chai and churros made right in front of you.  Cocoa Cinnamon has a really fun art gallery wall. Sip your beverage and enjoy some art.  Pine Gables of Aberdeen is a fantastic bed and breakfast. The owner and operator makes exquisite beadwork art and a fantastic breakfast.  We ate dinner at Double Eagle Bar and Grille in Aberdeen, NC. I recommend the hamburger covered in homemade pimento cheese and ask for a side of grilled jalapeños. Yum!  A short walk from Pine Gables of Aberdeen to the Double Eagle Bar and Grille for dinner. You walk over the train tracks and see some awesome railroad goodies. What a lovely stroll in downtown Aberdeen, NC. I took an epic road trip to Durham and Aberdeen North Carolina this past weekend. It was amazing. It was a whirlwind trip filled with epic needlework finds and good southern food. I highly recommend stopping at the Scrap Exchange and Scrap Thrift in Durham, NC. Are you heading down to Disney World? Make a stop in Aberdeen, NC and stay at Pine Gables of Aberdeen. It is a historic home that is a bed and breakfast. It was fantastic. You can watch and learn more about my trip to save the stitches on my Flosstube channel, episode 51.
Take care and happy stitching, Amanda Mae 
The newest counted cross stitch chart created by Ardith Design.
In the 50th episode of Flosstube, I premier two of my newest creations. First I show my new holiday sampler cross stitch fabric, and I am so excited to have my own cross stitch sampler fabric ready for Flossmas in July or Christmas in July stitching. Next I show my new chart "Sew Dang Cute" inspired by the fun phrase of fellow Flosstubers Joan and Kelly of the Joan and Kelly Show. Both women have sewing businesses and share their love of cross stitch and stitching on their Flosstube channel.
My custom cross stitch sampler fabric is available to purchase in my Spoonflower Studio Shop.
